Domestic Goddess: Is this correct, if one would like to post/share a recipe, we do so here?  If so, was searching to see if there were separate recipe categories?

Good morning, Phyllis.  Cute graphic.  I'll pretend I didn't see it.:)

halkel--Good morning.  I am happy you like the "stuff" and glad you share.  Good luck finding glue to fix your glasses.

weather wise.  Today is suppose to be equally as nice although will only get to 70 degrees this afternoon. We had a nice Taco Dinner with a delicious dessert at our Wednesday night dinner at church and then our young peoples drama department put on a show afterwards, which appears to be an annual event.  It was cute.  I will go to coffee in a couple of hours and then plan on getting a haircut and getting a few items at Walmart.  We do not have our Wisdom group today as the pastor is involved in the mayor's prayer luncheon at our normal meeting time and won't be available.  I had a great night's sleep last night, which was very welcome and I feel nice and rested this morning.

Mary, I love the adjustable bed and always sleep with my head elevated and sometimes with my legs elevated as the foot part raises under the knee and lower legs.  Before we had the adjustable beds we had air bladders that were powered that raised the head of the bed but the pumps were very noisy and the adjustable bed is so much better.  It is quiet to adjust with the remote control. 

Lloyd, not again.  You sure are hard on your old head. Hope this will be a quick recovery for you with a short stay in the hospital.

Joan, so glad you are finally getting some rain.   

Gloria, welcome back as I have missed your daily postings.  I had a computer with a defective motherboard at least once over the years and perhaps twice.  Glad you didn't lose any of the things you had on the computer.

Hal, "Gorilla Glue" :)  It does work :).

Phyllis is there a dog supposed to be somewhere underneath those bubbles?  ;D......Of course now, I am now singing that tune...." I'm forever blowing bubbles...."

Good Morning Everyone, 
from the cool, and over cast
rocky coast of Maine. 

Nice to see Gloria Back and
communicating, again. 

Lloyd..    YOU Need TO TAKE
BETTER care of your self.  And
always wearing a helmet when you
get on your machines should
be mandatory.  As  your luck is
going to run out one of these days
and it is going be curtains for you!

They have some nice light weight
helmets that I am sure would
protect you and be easy to
wear.

I hope that everyone has a good day.

Sandy

Good morning, Larry.  Glad you feel better after a good night's sleep.  After thee last time I was in the hospital, I had to give up my king size Sleep Number bed because the head of the bed couldn't be raised enough.  I now have a regular hospital bed.  No rain here today, but we did get about 24 hours of a good rain.

MaryTX--Good morning.  I never heard of "Gorilla Glue".

Good Morning  Vanilla-Jackie.  Now that you mention it, that tune will be in my head all day, too.

Sandy--Good morning.  I sure wish Lloyd would get a helmet.

Lloyd--I sure hope when you get out of that hospital and can get to the store that you buy yourself a helmet.

Jackie, is that the way your fur babies look when they get a bath?  I really wish you hadn't mentioned that song.  Now it is in my head and it is driving me crazy!   :crazy2:

G'Day all, I thought you might like to know I had a three-way conversation with Lloyd this lunch time,we had a good old natter with him and two of the 'Pretty Nurses' looking after him !, both me and my Aussie mate thought Lloyd looked well (considering all that he has gone through !) and after a few minutes of chatting we could see Lloyd began to tire, so, after giving his two nurses some advice on his treatment !  ;D , we left him lying back in his bed and hopeful of going home tomorrow !..

Gloria

Good morning everyone. Wow I did not think I would be missed by so many here. I know I missed all of you.I am so late getting here this morning, woke early but rolled over and woke at 10am. 2 things aren’t working. I have to get the disk for my printer and install it again but the worse is my external. Every thing is on there and unless I can figure out what is wrong I will be miserable. My grandson thinks it is the extra port thing (extra ports I call it a pig tail). Will have to check Staples and see if they still have them. That is where I bought this one. Still have not checked all my email but deleted a few hundred last night.

JOAN  I have missed your breakfasts and goodies every day. I will have a good day being here at my PC with my cyber family once again. Still raining, 5 days now with no sunshine. So it is great seeing all the smiling faces back again in front of me. Good chuckles. Have to send that ta Montana friend. Thank you for all today's goodies. I sure missed starting my days with them for more than a week. I tried the PC in the library here but could not get on line, only managed to get to my gmail and only 2 times. There are 3 computers and only 1 works and those who use it spend hours just playing games.

AMY  I see you are still on the road again. If you want more rain I would love to send you what we have here.

LLOYD  OK now I did not read old posts but from this morning's post you are in the hospital? My goodness, now what did you do to yourself? I wish you feel better and get back home.

JANE  it sure feels good being back. It would be easier to do without a TV than it is without a computer. How did your fur babies get so dirty? Raining there, too?

PHYLLIS  thanks. I was just getting into the swing of doing PSP again when this machine froze. Now will have to see about getting the external working. That is where everything is. Think I should bet a bunch of those thumb drives and back up everything on them when I get it working again. Back to taking PSP lessons again? Bet things are better now than before when you first took them. Hope you find something great in your hunting and gathering today.

HAL  you lazy? Nah it is the thought of spending more money on new glasses that has you procrastinating. Were you in the path of those horrible storms out there? Sure hope not.

LARRY  thanks. Darn when we but something why cannot they make it right in the beginning. My last HP that I had for years was less than $300. and never any trouble but the hard drive was getting too full. My grandson could not stay any later yesterday so it is up to me to get my external working. It was OK before this PC froze.

MARYTX  of course to get the Gorilla Glue Hal would have to go and get it.

JACKIE  good morning.

SANDY  only overcast in Portland?  Still drizzling here. 5 days so far. Might see sun on Sunday.

LLOYD  from what I gathered in the posts you fell or got thrown from one of your machines and hit you head again. Now cut that out. We all want you safe so please slow down.

ROLEY  glad you had a chance to talk and see Lloyd earlier. Thanks for letting us know.

Hal, "Gorilla Glue" :)  It does work :).

Tried it and it wouldn't hold.  Came apart the next day.


MaryTX

Hal, hmmmmm.  It has always worked for me much better than Super Glue.  Maybe it is time to get a new pair of frames :).

I started wearing glasses at 4 years old.  I was always breaking them and remember my folks sticking them together with adhesive tape particularly over the bridge of the nose until payday :(.

Phyllis--That song is still in my head, too.

roley--Thanks for the "face to face" update with Lloyd and his nurses.

Gloria--It's so good to have you back with us.  I sure hope you can get your external working.

halkel--My advice is to give up on glue and go get new glasses.

MaryTX--Maybe we should send halkel a donation so he can get new frames.:)

Gorilla Glue. Good stuff. Things stay glued for ever.  I also use the Gorilla Black tape. Same thing but once you put it on it is hard to remove. I wrapped it around a water pipe and took a long time using a blade also to get it off.

I lost my post. My fault. I should have used notepad and should be using it now but I am being stupid again.

What I remember...I welcomed our Gloria back again. I scolded Lloyd, again. I was talking to Bis about missing my queen size bed and expect she missed her king size. I got so used to just sleeping over lots of space, and then going to a single bed was what caused my falling out of same.

Hal, it was falling out of bed that I broke my glasses. The lens fell out, which miracle of miracles I was able to put back in, but on stem broke off. I glued it back on, did not stay that way, so I have been using them with one stem. Now that my son had taken me for my dental work, the next step is a trip to get new eyeglasses. Both my cataract surgeries worked so well I can get along with no glasses except for small print. Typing this is fine, no need for glasses,but a paper back book requires them.

I lost my messages as the phone rang, and I had to go to another site, to answer a weather question from my friend here at Rowntree, and when I do that, my message leaves with me.

So now I will just depart for a bit and pour some more coffee.
As long as we are here, let's dance.

JoanFL

JeanneP--I think I'll stay away from that glue if it's so difficult to remove.

June--I miss my king size bed, too, but it was a case of being able to breathe and sleep.

What a day it's been!  I feel like this is the first time I sat down all day.  I know I ate my lunch standing up or was it moving about?  Someone asked (Hal?) when I leave for Texas.  I have to be packed and ready to go out the door "a little before noon" next Thursday.  That's when my son is picking me up.  I don't know what a "little" is so I'm going to be ready by 11:30.

This weekend will be the big push because I have to work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week.  I crossed a bunch of things off my list today and there will be a few more yet tonight.  The big stuff (dog baths) is going to wait for Saturday.  I've rescheduled!

Loved the doggie in the bath!  We don't get so many bubbles and they don't get to sit very long.  I make them stand up.  It's easier to wash and rinse if they stand. 

Hal, you could just hang your head on one side and let the glasses sit there.  I guarantee that will work because my son did it for days after he broke an ear piece off his glasses.  Or you could tape them and just keep adding tape until it stays.  He did that, too.  He had a wad of tape so big that it rubbed a spot on the side of his face.  It's not easy to play high school basketball when you HAVE to have your glasses to see anything!  When I saw his glasses fly 20 feet across the gym floor and a ref almost stepped on them, I asked him where the elastic whatchamacallit was and he said, "I couldn't find it". 

The doggies have been fed and I'm going to "set a spell". 

Gloria, loved your entry today.  Sure did miss you!  Please don't go away again.

Wonder if Lloyd got to go home?

Sure wish they'd fix the "Sunshine Pump" around here.  I'm really tired of this dreary weather!

Good afternoon.  I am resting up a bit after hours of working outside cleaning things up.  We bought a new pressure washer as we have very low water pressure coming out of the house.  The first hour or so we were ready to take it back as it kept losing pressure.  Then things started to look up and we got a lot don and love the thing.

JANE, I thank you for your kind words...  There is no doubt in my mind that all the caring thoughts and prayers is what brought our Michele through this and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  I know your time is getting short before you are to leav for Texas, but I am hoping you can take it a bit easy and not make yourself too worn out in the time that is left. 

Lovely stories today, JOAN.  Thank you.

Take it easy, LLOYD.  Glad you are home.

My best to you all.  I must get in the shower and get myself ready to go to out yearly HOW meeting tonight.
